Four problems related to accelerator pedal have been reported for the 1999 Oldsmobile Alero. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
When applying the brakes vehicle continued to accelerate. No impact reported.
While driving about 65 mph sudden deacceleration while gas pedal was still pressed, and rpms were between 5 and 6000. That had happened to other vehicles, but they did not know what was the cause. Consumer had fixed the rotors at that time.
I did not have the cruse control set, nor was I using it. As I entered an intersection after I stopped, I touched the gas pedal and it went to the floor unaided and sped me into the intersection. This happened to me on two different ocassions on my way to work. I am so afraid of this car that I am now driving not over 30 mph to and from work and parking the car - not to drive it elsewhere. Oldsmobile refuses to release me from my lease. The shop cannot find the problem. Oldsmobile says they must duplicate the problem. I am afraid it will duplicate while I am driving and cause a serious accident. I can get no help from gm or Oldsmobile. Since it is a leased vehicle, all I want is released from the lease so that I can purchase a safer car. Thanks for your help.
Each time the accelerator pedal is pressed too hard vehicle makes a sharp left turn or pulls to the left. Contacted the dealer, was not able to find the cause. This is an unsafe car to drive, even to pass while on highway it will cause the vehicle to pull to left.
